New York University is proposing the largest expansion in its history, with a new tower on Bleecker Street and three million square feet of new classrooms, dormitories and offices in the Greenwich Village area. The plans also call for creating a new engineering school in Brooklyn and a satellite campus on Governors Island, complete with dorms and faculty housing.
...On Governors Island, the university envisions an institute that would unite several academic disciplines around a subject like the urban future. “What does it mean in the 21st century to build a great city?” Mr. Sexton said. “Let’s be the lab and thinking space for it, the center in the world for thinking about cities.”
The university’s plan for Governors Island must compete with other proposals that will be submitted to the Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation, a city-state partnership.
